My father lost his wedding ring a short time after he married my mother.
It made no difference; they have just celebrated their Golden (50th) Wedding Anniversary and are just as sweet toward each other today as they were during their wedding day. All eight of us brothers and sisters with all our own children can vouch for that!
I don't wear my wedding ring. But my wife and I are still as married as can be.
At best, a wedding ring is just a symbol. At worst, it's just another material thing!

Jen, my husband has lost two! Seems unbelievable - that he lost the first one really hurt, because obviously that was the ring that was blessed at our wedding ceremony. He lost that one after about three years married. Within a year, I bought him another one, and that one didn't last a year.
Now part of the problem is that he has big hands, long slender fingers, but huge knuckles. So he'd have to get a bigger size to fit over the knuckle, but then it was too big. I didn't know at the time that rings are available - like for people with arthritic hands whose knuckles are big - that have a special kind of fit. So when I replace the ring again, I'll get that type.
So I know how it feels, but it's not like the guys do it on purpose!

Hey hun...
This is the reason my husband has two rings. One is the one we got married with, one is just a plain band. He's in Iraq right now, and wore the band so that if he loses it it's not as big of a deal (I wear his actual wedding ring while he's gone). He'll put the one we got married with on when he gets home. Dont be to hard on him, it happens to military guys all the time (my husband use to tell me last year when he was in Iraq how they would spend hours looking for wedding rings that someone lost when they took off their gloves or something). See if you can find the exact same one, then buy a cheap band in case of deployment or training. Good luck!

Try to be understanding I lost mine in of all places a gold mine and I felt terrible i put up reward notices and everything. My wife was sad but never gave me any grief she understood i had to take it off for safety reasons. The ring is just a symbol of our everlasting love for each other but not why we love each other. Anyways 3 months later i get a call and some guy found it in the gravel by a soda machine. I got my ring back and we are still married 13 years later.

I'd just be upset that I'd have to buy a new one. I don't think the ring really means much to my fiance, so i wouldn't care. It wasn't like a would lose it on purpose. I'd be more upset if I lost my own ring, because its a symbol of our love to me, and I LOVE my ring :) I thought I lost it one night and me and my fiance scoured the house looking for it. I found it in our bed eventually. I was really sad until I found it :)

Well, gosh, I'd get him another one. Unless you think he threw it away on purpose, what's the point of being mad about it? Will that make either of you feel better? Will that make the ring be found? You said he's devastated. What more do you want from the guy? Get over it, find him a new one, and insure this one (add it to your homeowner's/renters policy--very cheap).

M husband lost his ring about a year and a half ago while he was sleeping. We looked everywhere for it. I ended up buying him a new one as a gift and insured it. About 2 months later when I moved our room around I found our original ring....so I insured that one as well. We sold the other ring on ebay.

Ugh, that sucks. But unless you suspect he intentionally "lost" it, then I wouldn't get mad AT him. I'd be upset and hurt but not at him. It was an accident. I'd get him a new wedding band and this time, I'd insure it! :) My sister-in-law's husband lost his band ON THEIR HONEYMOON!!!! :) They were gutted too but now they have a funny story to tell. They've been married 10 years.

That sounds like my cousin. Her hubby was in the ocean at Ocean City when his ring came off and got swept away in the water. They were only married a year! She wasn't angry, as these things happen. She just took it in stride, and they bought another one.
It's not like he took it off because he didn't want to be married to you. Accidents happen. Just calm down. It's just a piece of jewelry. The vows are the important thing, not the rings.
